Music therapy and a song for Max: a video you won't find on MTV

Max's music therapist, Joanne (who continues to look and sound like a Disney princess) surprised me with this video of a song she'd made up for Max (who continues to be obsessed with his bff Caleb and purple).I do believe Max has a future as as a backup singer. And as a spokesperson for the color purple.

I love it!!! Max sounds & looks great, all decked out in the purple. :) I wish you could find a song like that on MTV. These days you're more likely to see drunk, overly spray-tanned people from Jersey.

Since Max is starting to recognize words, especially his name, you might want to think about captioning the video for him. It's really easy to caption videos these days -- you can google caption youtube videos or go to http://www.youtube.com/t/captions_about to get instructions.

We've been doing music therapy for a few months now. So far, it is mostly my son running around trying to play every instrument except for the one we're working with at the time. I would be thrilled for him to be this engaged!
